Jelly Roll Threw His Phone Off a Bridge—Should We All Do It?

In case you forgot, a couple months ago Jelly Roll threw his phone off a bridge into the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville.

He hated the anxiety that it gave him . . . and since he was about to spend a few months back at home, he wanted to be fully untethered.

So how has Jelly been doing since then?  Here’s what he had to say, quote, “I got a laptop.  I’ve been emailing people like it’s 1998 . . . I’m just waiting on the dial-up modem.”

And when asked why he wanted to get rid of the phone in the first place he said, “The Super Bowl last year.  I’m in a suite with Leonardo DiCaprio and Vince Vaughn, and I’m on my phone when somebody scores a touchdown . . .

“And everybody else jumps up and starts high-fiving and I remember looking up and being, ‘oh, that’s cool’ . . . and went right back to my phone.  And I was like, ‘This ain’t healthy.'”

That’s awesome that Jelly is able to disconnect from that phone madness, and he’s enjoying his home life back on the farm.

Should we all just throw our phones in the river?
